Working smarter not harder seems idyllic, but how can you improve your productivity without sacrificing your work quality?
Here are a six proven productivity hacks every Digital Marketer can employ.
Establish Weekly Goals
Goals. Goals. Goals. They are so important in every aspect of your business, productivity is no different. Weekly goals help you maintain focus and motivation toward achieving a specific result. Goals provide a reference point where you can measure your productivity as the week progresses.
Examples:
- Take 15 Minute Walk Daily
- Clean Workspace
- No Friday Meetings
- Take 2-10 Minute Breaks Daily
| Goal | Measurement | Improvement |
| Take 15 Minute Walk Daily | Number of walks talking in the week | Add 10 minutes to walk |
| Clean Workspace | Workspace cleared of clutter and trashed papers no longer needed | Purchase file folder to organize files |
Develop a Plan
Planning your work with tasks, milestones, deliverables, and deadlines gives you the sense of formality and can help produce better results. This plan may include time limits for specific tasks, so you can complete projects in smaller chunks and have daily accomplishments. You may even find having a daily schedule is helpful for mapping out your week and day.
Automated Workflows
Automated workflows are your guide to increasing productivity organically. These workflows can help reduce work errors, provide an enhanced client experience, and eliminate repetitive and time-consuming tasks. Automated workflows optimize operational productivity by simplifying communications and tasks to produce a higher-quality of work.
Use Client & Project Management Tools
Client and project management tools such as Trello, Quickbooks, HootSuite, Dubsado, and Freshbooks help to manage your business efficiently. These tools are designed to help you organize client communications, projects, tasks, and manage deadlines. Some client and project management tools also help with content management which is useful when you’re managing numerous clients and data.
Outsource When Necessary or Possible
There’s no need to have the weight of the world on your shoulders. Outsourcing a Virtual Assistant, Graphic Designer, or Copywriting can save you time and relieve stress. Partnering with a Freelancer or other small business can allow you to work on other parts of your business and boost your productivity on existing client work.
Learn To Say “No”
As a business owner, you’ve probably been taught over and over again that “no” is a bad word when it comes to clients. When you take on tasks outside of the project scope it affects your productivity. However, learning to say no sets necessary boundaries between you and clients.
